Train Analogies

The wheels on the summer recording train are a rolling. We busted out the sm 57s yesterday and recorded an acoustic guitar in stereo. Groundbreaking. Our newest member has made it to town and we're planning our shows later this month. The time has come when ideas need to be fleshed out. If you hear bottles breaking outside your house, don't be alarmed. Just the next great Dogs track. Stay tuned and check out our tour schedule. Catch a show. or Two.

We woke up at 5am

We have successfully made our first tv appearance. It was promoting a show at the High Noon Saloon, High Noon Saloon, High Noon Saloon benefitting the EDGE project. We had a blast this weekend, busking around Madison, WI and busting open a watermelon afterwards. The show went well later that night. Watch and enjoy.

First Show of the Summer

Dogs first gig of the summer went very well. We played at my alma mater, West Suburban Montessori's block festival on East Ave. Very intense to say the least... 25 minuets of pure energy... kinda like if you shot-gunned a red bull. All the children sang along. Check back to the website to find out about new gigs to come. Photos to come via the blog!!!!
